It's not only installing and testing the patches, but also

  * when has this issue/patch been worked on last - is somebody
    currently working on it
  * what issue/patches I started to review?
  * commenting on code requires to download the patch - strip out parts
    which are okay, comment, then mail the commented code to the correct
    issue number
  * Even when using the debbugs interface in emacs
      o It is is hard to use for occasional users
      o It is an insurmountable obstacle for those not using emacs.
      o It does not tell what issues/patches I've been working on
        already - and waiting for a reply
      o It does not tell which issues are stale

Anyhow, all of this has been discussed several times already. And as 
long as vocal (and active :-) members of the community insist on being 
able to work via e-mail — while also not adopting modern e-mail-capable 
forges — this situation will not change.
